"I think I'm forgetting something..." He miraculously rented a white suit that..sort of fit, and he knew where the ball was--but something slipped his mind a little...
((I sincerely apologize for taking so long on replies, I know I disappeared the past few days, but I promise you I will do my best to be present and more consistent in the future!))
The pride Gilgamesh had in his multitude of arms was admirable, but still a little odd. The only time Usagi had seen people with more than two arms was when they were monsters.. She’d have to keep an eye on this guy, just to be safe.
"Time? Um.. I guess.. Well, allow time for travel! And we can’t be too late, or too early! And you wear a tuxedo… Do you know what a tuxedo is?" She assumed she’d have to show him later, but his snapping switched her attention to his elaborate introduction.
"Well Gilgamesh… It is a pleasure to meet you!! I’m not sure about the ‘graced with the company’ part.. But, still, none the less!" The senshi nods, time for her extravagant intro, she supposed.
"I am Usagi Tsukino!! I have travelled to lots of places in Japan! Um.. I like food! I eat a lot of it! I am a connos… conn.. cosnosieur… Um… I fight for justice! I am a pretty guardian of love and justice! In the name of the moon, I will punish y-… well, not you.. I guess.. But, I will punish people who try to hurt you!!!!"
"Hmm. Your introduction could use some refining. But you still sound like a fine young lady, Miss Usagi." Gilgamesh gives her a kind smile. He leans a bit closer to her, speaking in a lower tone. "It's good you can fight. I sense we'll have some troublemakers at the ball, knowing this place." He stands straight, and lets out a long exhale. "We're gonna need as much firepower as we can get to put them in their place!" He pounded a fist into a flexed arm muscle with a tough, albeit exaggerated, expression.
"And as for the tuh-see-doe, I have no idea what that is." His head dropped to the side, a hand under his chin.
Gilgamesh is stiff as a board as he listens to Jack talk. Several of his arms reveal themselves to cover his spine, even though it was already protected by his armor. He looks like he's almost going to cry in terror...
Would you rather be really attractive or really smart?
Gilgamesh takes a moment to think about this. “I could be super smart, and handsome at the same time by wearing really cool armor! Like dragoons do! Though, that kind of armor isn’t really my style…”
"Oh, dearest…" Her voice resounded melodiously, capturing the wonder she felt upon seeing her beloved. "To think that the day would come where I’d meet someone who’d make my heart beat this fast. It’s such a fantastic emotion, I don’t think I can hold it in!" She spread her arms wide, as if anticipating a hug.
It didn’t take her long to melt into his arms. Oh, if this was heaven please may it never end! Here, sharing an embrace with her beloved, being enveloped in him… Armageddon could befall them all, but Litchi knew she could die happy so long as he was here.
"My dear… Even though it pains me to hear this, I can be happy knowing that I was even able to spend a little bit of time with you." She leaned her head up against his broad chest and sighed. "And of course I’d accompany you anywhere. Your suggestion sounds absolutely delightful~!"
"What elegant name does a walking flower like you carry?" a blush played over his cheeks, and a warmth in the tips of his ears. She had a really pretty face, didn't she? Part of him enjoyed such a dedicated act of love towards him, but he wondered if this was some sort of trap. Another part almost wished he wasn't wear chest armor. He put a hand through her smooth hair, enjoying a texture he didn't get to feel often.
Please cover those horns, the pointy edges are dangerous.
"I don't think anyone's tall enough to get poked by `em--you have my thanks for this gift and I will take your concern into consideration!" He nods to the gift-giver. He doesn't really think about how stupid it will look, and puts them on.
Gilgamesh’s face turned red and tried to hide itself behind the plate of armor and the folds of his hood in front of it. His heart felt like it dropped a bit in his chest and the flight sense was starting to kick in. The others could only tell his nervous glances by the slight movement of his head. One foot creeps a bit behind him, ready to make a run for it.
Gilgamesh trots across the snow, a grin plastered on his face. He stares upward into the shining blade of a new sword, staring back at his own white eyes in it's reflection. A beautiful weapon that tickled his fancy and made him feel eager to try it's mettle.
Gilgamesh could feel his muscles and chest tighten as his anger built. His brows locked together, his teeth gritted with lips parted as if he was snarling, the skin between his brow and the bridge of his nose wrinkling. With the blank white of his eyes almost looking like they were burning brighter, and his fists clenched and ready, one would be careful about what they would say—or do—next.
Give me a number, and I will describe the physical characteristics of my character expressing it. NO DIALOGUE. Descriptors only! (Feel free to add to this list if reposting)
You and an anon sent the exact same question I hope you know that—
Get cozy, I tend to ramble. Pictures will be included as links! (sorry this took so long I’m easily distracted)
First of all,y`all probably know good `ol Gil here is a re-occuring character in the Final Fantasy series, more so than anybody! But unlike the Cids, who are completely different characters (as far as I’m aware), Gilgamesh is actually the same dude, aside from a few cases. So let’s start from the top! (there’s some spoilers in here, mostly just FF5 related so, beware!)
In the beginning Gilgamesh was the lackey of Exdeath, an evil tree—*cough* an evil powerful wizard who doesn’t know the meaning of a ‘raise’ is the main antagonist of FF5! You fight Gilgamesh multiple times, and one of them he thinks he found the sword Excaliber and tries to fight you but turns out it was actually a fake called Excalipoor. Because of the resulting poor performance, Exdeath was all “WOW YOU’RE A LOSER" and banished him to the rift. You meet him again in the Rift, fighting for his life, and you come across a monster called Necrophobe. Now, if you beat Necrophobe in time, Gilgamesh doesn’t need to sacrifice himself for your safety, but even if he does sacrifice himself, he’s deemed alive for some reason. I’ll probably make a headcanon out of it later.
Default Form - MORPHING TIME!
Fast forward to the explanations in FF8 (implied) and Dissidia Duodecim (confirmed), Gilgamesh travels through portals in the rift to these different places.
MORE UNDER THE CUT this shit’s long and I’m sorry
Then we have the weird Gilgameshes that don’t seem to be directly related, and have different personalities.
Type-0 is very rough-spoken (Mr. Fuck Your Shit I Can Pull This Giant Ass Sword Out of My Chest Armor) Genbu L`cie, and the king of Genbu. (Additional I’m gonna beat your ass form that’s available optionally much later)
We’ve also got this thin ass weirdo in the sequel to Chocobo Tales that was never localized. He tries to marry a princess he kidnapped and is the main villain of the first chapter. As far as I know he’s not much like the main Gilgameshes.
FFIX's Gilgamesh seems a little strange among the rest of them, and I'm not entirely sure whether or not to count him in the 'main line' as he is a treasure hunter (albeit not a very good one), has Enkidu running around looking for Excalibur II (probably to cover more ground or let him play card games with children like a lazy bastard and spelled Enkido rather than Enkidu). Although it alludes to ‘Enkido’ being his brother rather than a close friend. Though I figured maybe they just called each other brother out of closeness. Also Enkidu is sometimes spelled like Enkido/Enkidoh in some places.
Don’t ask me about FFXI Gilgamesh his existence confuses me.
And then up to date to today, here we have the upcoming FFXIV: A Realm Reborn, the specific look I’m waltzing around with right now (Gil seems to show off his fancy lots of loose cloth in this design especially). Who the fuck knows how in the heck he got the main antagonist’s Halberd I’m guessing it’s probably a replica/fake. I’m assuming he can hide away his arms like in previous incarnations as a sort of headcanon thing more than anything, so assume he runs around with two to four. We’ll know more about this one’s abilities and experiences when the 2.2 patch comes around though the latter won’t mean much since I’m technically playing him before he makes his way to that realm.
*deep inhale* YEAH I’m pretty sure I didn’t miss anything except maybe Theatrhythm but that explains itself (and is super cute). SO I HOPE THAT WAS EDUCATIONAL AND YOU ENJOYED IT AND I’M SORRY FOR THE LENGTH.
IF YOU READ ALL THIS AND LOOKED AT ALL THE PICTURES, BLESS YOUR HEART.
"Oh, dearest…" Her voice resounded melodiously, capturing the wonder she felt upon seeing her beloved. "To think that the day would come where I’d meet someone who’d make my heart beat this fast. It’s such a fantastic emotion, I don’t think I can hold it in!" She spread her arms wide, as if anticipating a hug.
Gilgamesh takes a moment to take in the beauty of the woman who is confessing her love to him. She sure did have…supple assets, but her overall form and look was that of a mature woman. Gilgamesh gathered up his bravery and embraced her gently, trying to look as charming as possible. Why not take it in stride, even if it could just be some sort of spell or dream. “I cannot guarantee we can be with each other forever, for I am a cursed man. Let us spend our time in warmth. Would you like to accompany me for some hot cocoa by the fire of our hearts?” Very smooth, Gilgamesh. Very smooth.
Gilgamesh is cautious from getting too deep in love with any woman. Perhaps he has had some crushes in the past and teased many (see: most of his Dissidia Duodecim taunts to the female cast). he knows if he does fall in love it will be difficult if she cannot follow him into the rift as Enkidu can (somehow) manage.
Gilgamesh plans on making the best of his time in Hive City—it’s better than the Rift, after all. He’s been thinking if it’s possible to make a weapons shop like his old one (XIII had one under his name, so one would assume he’s capable of ‘smithing weapons himself).
Gilgamesh laughs in a grandiose fashion and...very loudly.
